Pique is still bitter about last season's La Liga championship, the final round of La Liga, and believes that Barcelona failed to win the championship mainly because Messi was absent due to injury.
Li Chuanqi rose to fame last season. In addition to his performance in the Champions League, he led the not-so-powerful Málaga to finally defeat Barcelona and win the La Liga championship.
That was a legendary experience.
With the arrival of Barcelona, the peak battle between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona is about to take place, attracting the attention of many media.
According to AS reported, there were more than 300 reporters covering the game, which has surpassed the previous "El Clasico"!
Aspen lamented: "The number of media people exceeded the 'El Clasico', which shows that the attraction of this game has surpassed the showdown between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
This shows that in people’s eyes, Atletico Madrid’s influence surpasses Real Madrid.”
Marca disagreed with Aspen's view: "If the Ballon d'Or selection results were not about to be announced, the match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona would not have attracted much media and attention.
Therefore, Atletico Madrid’s influence does not surpass Real Madrid!”
L’Equipe’s report immediately slapped Marca in the face: “According to reliable sources, FIFA President Blatter will go to the Calderon Stadium to watch the peak showdown between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona!
According to sources, Atletico Madrid officials sent an invitation to Blatter a few days ago, and Blatter agreed to Atletico Madrid's invitation after consideration.
The reason why Atletico Madrid officials invited Blatter to watch the game against Barcelona has a lot to do with the upcoming announcement of the Ballon d'Or.
How much influence did Blatter have on the Ballon d'Or outcome?
We can wait for time to test.
In any case, Atletico Madrid have tried their best to let Li win the Ballon d'Or.
As for why Blatter came to watch this game?
Maybe only Blatter himself knows."
Shortly afterwards, keen reporters waited for Blatter's arrival at Madrid Airport.
Reporters immediately surrounded Blatter.
Blatter knew he had to answer a few questions, otherwise the media would make all kinds of speculation.
"I received an invitation from Atletico Madrid, and after repeated consideration, I finally decided to accept their invitation. Atletico Madrid has made great progress this year and made a lot of investment. They represent a new force in football.
I went to watch the game with no other purpose than to watch the showdown between the top two teams in La Liga up close and watch a wonderful game.
This game has nothing to do with the Ballon d'Or as people speculate.
The Golden Globe Awards are jointly selected by people with voting rights from all over the world, and they are fair and just!"
Blatter denied having anything to do with the Ballon d'Or, but media reporters didn't think so.
Blatter came to Madrid to watch the peak showdown between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, which aroused all kinds of imagination in the media. At this time, World Sports News broke the news: "Shortly after Blatter arrived at Madrid Airport, Li's father also arrived.
Madrid Airport.
Is it a coincidence that they arrived in Madrid at almost the same time?
According to reliable sources, Li's father will meet with Blatter in Madrid with Atletico Madrid executives!
Not only that, Li's brother will also attend the meeting between Blatter and Atletico Madrid executives.
The role that Li’s brother plays now is that of an agent.”
This news was like a bomb, triggering heated discussions.
For the Golden Globe Award, both the congressman father and the agent brother are on the stage?
Li Chuanrui's cell phone was almost exploded by the media, who demanded to confirm whether the news from World Sports News was true.
Li Chuanrui told the media: "My younger brother is going to participate in such an important competition. As a family, we will definitely be there to cheer him on. This time, not only my father and I came to Madrid, but other family members also came to Madrid at the same time!"
As for meeting Mr. Blatter…
Of course we hope to meet Mr. Blatter because he is the president of FIFA and he has made outstanding contributions to the development of football around the world.
He is someone I respect.
Meeting someone you respect must be a very pleasant experience.
I look forward to Atletico Madrid giving me the opportunity to meet with Mr. Blatter, but so far, I have not received relevant information."
Atletico Madrid executives are very angry now. Who revealed the news to Mundo Deportivo?
So, in this case, should we continue to implement the previous plan?
After careful consideration, they decided to carry out their previous plan and let Li Chuanqi's father and brother meet Blatter.
That afternoon, Li Chuanrui received an invitation from Atletico Madrid officials, inviting him and his father to attend a meeting between Atletico Madrid executives and Blatter.
That night, father and son Li Xianqi and Li Chuanrui, dressed in formal attire, went to the five-star hotel where Blatter was staying.
Their whereabouts were photographed by reporters waiting for them.
Some reporters even went up to interview them.
Li Chuanrui knew that during this sensitive period, he needed to have a good relationship with reporters and accepted interviews from the media.
"We received an official invitation from Atletico Madrid in the afternoon. As for what we were going to do at the hotel? Who were we meeting? Atletico Madrid did not give us any explanation."
Li Chuanrui said: "So please don't make random guesses. As far as I know, Atletico Madrid's top management often holds meetings in this hotel. Our contract with Atletico Madrid was also completed in this hotel.
Maybe Atletico Madrid wants to talk to us about contract renewal tonight.
Everyone knows that the salaries of Messi and Cristiano increased a lot before the season.
Atletico Madrid are considering the salary issue because they believe that my brother's performance on the field far exceeds the salary he receives.
We appreciate Atletico Madrid's attitude very much."
What?
Atletico Madrid wants to give Li a salary increase?
What the hell kind of operation is this?
Li had just transferred to Atletico Madrid. How long had it passed before Atletico Madrid actually offered to give Li a salary increase?
Nima, is there such a thing?
When did salary increases become the club's initiative?
Has the world changed and clubs become so considerate?
The reporters looked at each other and couldn't believe what Li Chuanrui said.
Li Chuanrui took advantage of the reporter's enlightenment and left the reporter with his father and entered the hotel.
Li Chuanrui's words are half true and half false. It is true that Atletico Madrid is considering giving Li Chuanqi a salary increase, but this is not an initiative proposed by Atletico Madrid, but by Li Chuanrui.
…
At Li Chuanqi's house, my mother and Blanca Padilla were chatting about gossip about entertainment stars, while my sister was supervising Li Chuanqi's signature.
In front of Li Chuanqi were a lot of notebooks, jerseys, footballs, postcards...
He didn't know how his sister brought so many things to Madrid.
"Adrian, I wish you become more and more handsome!"
My sister handed Li Chuanqi a postcard and told her what she wanted to write.
Li Chuanqi threw away the pen and said directly: "Can I write like this? Your brother is a star after all, how can he write such childish words?"
His sister immediately handed the pen to him again: "Okay! We don't write like this!"
She tilted her head and thought for a moment and said: "We write it this way, Adrian, wishing you to grow up healthily! Yes."
My sister was very satisfied with what she said and nodded repeatedly: "Yes! Just write it like this!"
Li Chuanqi glanced at her and wrote those words on the postcard helplessly.
